Stephen King Calls GOP Train Crash 'Karma' But His Apology is Worse

After an Amtrak train carrying Republican members of Congress and their families slammed into a garbage truck Wednesday — killing one person and injuring others — left-wing author Stephen King decided to get cute on Twitter:

A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that karma.

A rather thoughtless tweet from me concerning the train-truck crash, for which I apologize (if one is necessary). It should be pointed out, too, that those Republican politicians, who can be heartless when they vote, immediately got out to help.
